Hi Chatlisteners,

I had an interesting night at the Carolina Brewery. Interesting in that I enjoyed seeing something totally new in Pittsboro. Food was good, service slow, but, it’s new and all of us are slow when starting something new. I really enjoyed looking at the art around the wall. We actually met up with Corky and Linda sitting next to the beautiful portrait of their house on main street. It was a kodak moment, but didn’t have a camera! Also enjoyed watching the staff walking up those stairs and carrying those trays, hoping they wouldn’t fall.

Subject: Planning Department Survey

Hope everyone has seen the new Chatham County Website. Here is a link to a survey for the Planning Department. Anyone who has been affected by development should let their FEELINGS be heard! Of course I have been told by Planning a number of times that feelings do not matter.

I been readin this list for a few months now and I bout decided alla yalls crazy!  Never seen such a fuss bout a saloon.  And caint nobody keep up with their dogs and cats.  And somma yalls got to be members of that commie Mensa outfit way you're throwin words around.  I uz gonna write a nice little number about how taxes was gonna be the ruination of uz all but I don't wanna tick nobody off so I think I'll just keep the trap shut.  Caint imagine  how alla yalluda made it in the ol days without a neighbor for miles.

Speaking of words, though, there is one Chatameccentric point I'd like to bring up.  We members seem to be vacillating between two 'nicknames' for ourselves---Chathamohican and Chathamites.  I'd like to be the first to propose that, if we must collectivize ourselves, we choose to be Chathamohicans....I keep waiting for someone's typing finger to slip and call me a Catamite.  And down here in the South, them's fightin words!

Howard, the tax guy
